[2005] Problems after converting this project

[one_&_only]

I downloaded this http://robydx.altervista.org/DirectX...ctSoundRec.zip it records voice but it converts with errors. They say for the parts that have errors (is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound'). I have DirectX SDK installed and don't know what the problem is I was wondering if somebody else could convert it in vb.net 2005 and see if it's just not working for me.

well this is some of the code I tried converting from that project but things llike CaptureBuffer get this error have errors (is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound').

Well what is ambiguous? Just means that you are using a name for a variable that also appears in one of your referenced assemblies, for whatever name you are getting the error on. You can just change the name in the code to something else (or enclose the ambiguous names in brackets, I believe)

[one_&_only]

but i've tried that it still doesn't work for instance I have this:

Dim cBuff As CaptureBuffer

then the error is then I get the error (CaptureBuffer is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound') and it's a class in Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound. I even tried it this way:

Dim cBuff As Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.CaptureBuffer

but when I do it that way capturebuffer isn't even in the list of classes and I know it's suppose to be because I even checked the msdn site

Not sure what to tell you, as those two lines both work for me when just copying and pasting in, with the DirecSound dll referenced... Maybe its just something that went wrong in the conversion. Why not try starting a new project and just copying and pasting the code over?
